Remember, I can't make every model that quickly. Some have also asked for boots and thighs, too, so there may be a wait. Thanks!Īnd LeadingSpartan, thanks for the compliment! I might be able to do those forearms, but keep in mind that (while my friend Th3 FETT MAN plans to work on the backpack - I actually think there are two versions - look in the pictures) I think I'm going to model the front first (large plate, equiptment boxes and groin plate). I had always thought that both parts of the armor in a single file would be difficult to unfold, but I guess you proved me wrong. Thanks for another great unfolding! Those P2 files seem to be in demand as well. I haven't given it much thought since then.Hey, Ral Partha, nice to see you. I can link you to my first post, where people talked to me about the pep build idea.

For an isolated piece like a helmet rather than a full suit, it might be cheaper to go with the pep.

For a helmet, though, with a kit from Affordable Trooper Armor (ATA), you can expect to pay $130 plus shipping and not including the tools you'll need for the build. I'm pretty small, so I haven't done much research into that kind of thing. And even taller troopers exist! I believe it's Troopermaster that makes the best armor for larger troopers, but it might be Authentic Props (AP). I think a pep build could be cheaper if you're a pep master and you're able to perform a build with no waste and as few resources as possible, but in general it seems to be cheaper to go with a kit. I'm only operating on advice given to me in my first ever post on these boards about a year ago by more veteran members. What could I expect to pay for a helmet that I can take my time and put together? Thanks for saving me a hassle and money it seems. That's why I was attracted to the pepakura. So I thought the pepakura builds would be less expensive but your saying they're cost more and less accurate? I like building these myself but vader and stormtrooper pose an issue for scratch builds. But I will say, accuracy is a must for me. My collection is more nostalgic than anything else. I'm too tall to be a stormtrooper, 6'3 220 so it's just a display piece.boba maker has a tutorial on a snowtrooper helmet I am beginning to work on but I would also really like to have a stormtrooper, boba fett and vader helmets as well.
Good luck!I'm too tall to be a stormtrooper, 6'3 220 so it's just a display piece.boba maker has a tutorial on a snowtrooper helmet I am beginning to work on but I would also really like to have a stormtrooper, boba fett and vader helmets as well. If you'd rather go a more tried and true route, I'd suggest looking at this thread: get an idea of where the 501st gets most of its TK armors. If you still want to go through with it, I know where to find TK pep files. When I first got onto the FISD, I was planning on doing a pep build, and I was quickly warned away from it. The armor often ends up being heavy, expensive, uncomfortable, and inaccurate. Hey Kevin, we don't actually generally suggest the use of Pepakura for armor builds if you're trying to join the 501st.
